I would like to be there on the porch with you. It sounds lovely. However, it's not bad here in Oregon. We have had rain all week-end but I don't mind at all because the yard and flowers get watered and the birds can take a bath.
I celebrate the beauty God created!

But outside the birds are singing their songs, the crows are cawing, a few crickets are chirping, a distant cow lowing for her baby.
I'm sitting on the porch with the laptop in my lap, listening, in awe, only my breathing and the click of the keys occasionally......
What a lovely, peaceful, restorative morning. Praises!

Thank you for sharing Jan. Your thoughts bring up memories of my childhood when I would lay in deep grass on a summers afternoon watching the big puffy white clouds float by trying to make images in the clouds. Only the sounds of crickets calling to one another and the cows calling to be let into the barn for their evening milking.As I lay day dreaming the afternoon away.

Wish we had that kind of weather. The last month here has been so hot and no rain for sometime. About a week ago it started raining everyday and that has brought the temperature down some. Our A/C runs all the time.

No cars are passing by the house to bring people to work at the lab down the street. The air smells fresh and sweet and the cool light breeze is from the ocean over the hill. Dogs and husband are still asleep. This is a heavenly time of day. I am looking through today's QB as I look out on the sunshine and flower garden here in MAINE.
